Hiking
The original lighthouse was built around 1830. It is located halfway along the breakwater of Newhaven harbour, a smaller stone tower with a domed roof.
The second Newhaven Harbour Lighthouse was established in 1869 and built by James Dove and Company, Edinburgh. It is a 50-foot-high octagonal cast-iron tower.
The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1930.
In 2018 the lighthouse was relit by Forth Ports, with colour-changing LEDs for decorative purposes. (lighthouseaccommodation.co.uk/directory/newhaven-harbour-lighthouse/)
